Vaisakhi 2016 Global Sahej Paath
As we all know, this past year has been one of upheaval but also of great importance for the Sikh Panth. The events in the Punjab last year have been especially intense.
Those of us who live in the diaspora especially found ourselves feeling a deep concern but without a clear way of directing our energies. Guru ji teaches us that ‘Jhagar kie, Jhagaro hi pava.” “By being aggressive, only more aggression comes.” (Ang 341)
That is why SikhNet launched a global simultaneous Sahaj Paath. As we said in our last call for participation, we know well that prayers alone will not solve all the problems. But we are here to provide an avenue to experience Guru ji as the guiding light to lift us up, to pray for each other and to pray for the best possible outcome for the Punjab and for the Sikh Panth.
~In The Silence We Will Resound Guru Ji's Voice~
Since then we have not heard much and the tensions seem to have died down on the surface. Without a flurry of news on the internet, especially in the diaspora, our minds are not as focused on all these important issues. The silence that we are currently experiencing surely will not last because our destiny is greatness and our souls will not be satisfied until it is achieved.
To that silence, we offer our prayer, as a light in the void.
Guru ji bless us your children, with the strength and the harmony to bring and maintain Your presence in this world.
Everyone is invited to once again participate in a global sahaj paath. Let us pray for our collective harmony and strength.

What is a Sehaj Paath?
It is the complete recitation of Siri Guru Granth Sahib usually done by an individual with no set time of completion (However for coordination purposes we will have a completion date).
Whoever would like to participate is welcome to join from anywhere in the world. You would commit to read a section of Siri Guru Granth Sahib ji by the deadline date given for each Sahej Paath group.
